Innsbruck: Urban meets Alpine

Innsbruck is the gateway to South Tyrol and, at the latest since the 2018 UCI Road World Championships, is also known for road cycling. From flat and fast roads to challenging climbs that make your legs and lungs burn, everything is on offer here - a real challenge for professional and amateur cyclists alike. Great road conditions and fantastic views are what fascinate many people in and around the mountain town. The urban flair plays its part - the many places to stop for refreshments after the ride are the icing on the cake for an enjoyable and sociable vacation. From restaurants with Tyrolean specialties to tapas, Mexican food or Asian eateries: The international flair is evident here. The city's nightlife is another bonus not to be missed. During your racing bike vacation in Innsbruck, the racing bike rodeo in the Kühtail is not to be missed - it is a real 'must' - don't let it "throw you off".

Roadbike Rodeo
It's not without reason that the tour from Innsbruck to Kühtail is called the Rodeo - the tour is a demanding classic, located at 2,020 m above sea level. If you are looking for the maximum challenge, face the Kühtai Rodeo. Within one day you can reach the Kühtai from three different starting points (Kematen, Ötz, and Haiming) - over 122 kilometers you will climb 4,250 meters in altitude. Towards the Kühtal the road is long and steep, up to 18% gradient must be conquered here in the steepest section - the rodeo has already thrown off many, but as a real racing cyclist would say: No pain, no gain! All the more light-hearted is the sense of achievement at the top of the mountain - here you can be really proud of yourself! If you prefer to take it easy, use one of the numerous developed and traffic-free bike paths in the Inn Valley and you'll quickly find yourself in the greenery and on the gentle hills. And those who would like to be on the road with real professionals will find a large selection of pro camps here.

Innsbruck is the ideal terrain for road cyclists and differs from other road cycling vacations by the mix of sportive challenge in alpine landscape and urban lifestyle. During the day you explore the area on the saddle, collect altitude meters, in the evening you enjoy Innsbruck's nightlife with culture and culinary - yes Innsbruck is simply the most beautiful capital of the Alps and the finishing touch for any road bike vacation - it is worth every rodeo.
